Yes Spaceman3 I reread it and you are right his very first sentence says that. I certainly don't see you comment that way, apologies!

[spaceman3]

Thanks Sharp.

Thanks Bertotti.

My response to chilly7 was harsh, and i do apologize to the forum.
My attempt to educate chilly7 was crude.
chilly7, if you are still reading this subject, i am not mad at you.
Not to get relligous, but chilly7, you speak like someone who belives in a higher power.
So i will speak to that belief.

Judge not, lest ye be judged.

peace

As someone who builds his own analogue synths, including a Minimoog Clone, I don't have a problem with Behringer's Model D. It's affordable because the components are cheap, which doesn't equate to it not sounding like a one of the latest Minimoogs. The components inside the latest MM are also just as cheap, you're paying $4000 for the build and name.

One thing that worries me, is that Moog HAVE changed the internal layout of the new MM, the panel controls are now mounted directly to PCBs, thereby eliminating the hand-wired birds nest that created much of the the VCO crosstalk which was part of the original character. The bleed from the mod wheels has also gone... I spent some time with one a few weeks back, and I'm sorry, but to my ears it just doesn't sound like a classic Minimoog - there's definitely something missing.

That's why I'm quite happy with Behringer's $400 synth - It's also ideal for hacking, which you wouldn't do to a $4000 synth

It will be very simple:
- either the little thing delivers something sounding really close to the original (and the new Mini definitely does, just like the Voyager with Rudi Linhards slew rate modification)
- or it will be just some cheap mono synth

I'm always surprised, how many people think it's no big deal getting a Porsche at the price of a Ford Fiesta - maybe a little bit smaller but feeling just as fast and good.

Do people pay money for pure brand names like Porsche, BMW and Mercedes? Yes, all the time, and quite a lot just for the name. Does that mean you could easily get cheap alternatives, costing half but delivering the goods? Errrh, NO, funny enough it doesn't.

IF Behringer delivers convincing Minimoog D sound at 400 bucks, I will be among the first with a big chapeaux. If not, it will clearly be noticed and named, bet on it!

At the moment, we can say nothing at all.

That's a redonculous price. And I've never ever used that word. I recently bought an X18 digital wireless mixer and am still reeling from getting 16 preamps, 4 FX buses, 6 auxes and an 18 channel USB interface for 400 euros (ex VAT).

On the same day that Moog stop production of the Model D re-issue.

I know who I would rather support.

The pre-order page appears to have disappeared.

I still want to know how much access it gives to the various signals. I know it's not a 2600, but if it has access via those plugs at the top to envelopes, etc., it might be a good starting point for a full modular system. Less than half the cost of the Lifeforms SV-1.
